and what does it equate to price wise?

xxx MS points might be all well and good, but whats it in £

£1? £2? £4? £7?

i see loads of content for download, but want to know how much in £ before i commit

just renting the DVD might be cheaper


Mart

 

I've not looked at the film prices yet, but 500 Ms points is £4.25.

 

the amp puts itself into dolby prologic 2 mode when no 5.1 soundtrack is available as far as i am aware!!

and it did say "digital" i red letters and not the blue "prologic2"


i could be mistaken??

 

ps about £3.20 per hd film IIRC, bargain!

 

Xbox.com | News & Features - 300 In HD For Only 100 MS Points!

 

is this the mysterious "hd film for 99p" thing?

 

I wish it was one of the other movies, as I have already seen 300 and have the HDDVD.

 

Me too. I'll download it again for £1.00 tho just to see what the quality is like and the kind of download speed to expect. I have to say tho that my lovefilm membership won't be getting cancelled anytime soon if they continue to charge over £4.00 for films... you can almost rent 3 HD DVDs/Bluerays per month for that!

i could have sworn i only paid 380 MS points when i downloaded 300

i checked last night and it seams its now 540 points?

 

Just checked 300 HD for 100 ms points offer and its only for the SD version!!!

 

It's showing both SD and HD for 100 points on mine.

 

Yeah, they originally only reduced the price of the SD version. Looks like they've fixed it now.

 

Your right but it seems hardly anyone can get on live at the moment. What a complete **** up on MS part. Hope they extend the offer as I really wanted to test the quality of the HD movies.

 

Just downloading my copy now... anybody already watched theirs? Is the sound really only pro-logic on the HD versions ?

Tony.

 

Started watching as its downloading, and yep no 5.1 sound Pic is good tho. But the usual price of over £4.00 is a joke considering you get no 5.1 . It will be my last download until the prices drop!

Tony.

 

What time did you start downloading?

I think your right about the sound

 

So you got an HD movie for 80p and it isnt 5.1, ? stop moaning, go to your local video store and rent a non hd movie for £3/£4

 

Its 80p for a limited period only! The normal cost of over £4.00 will also be non 5.1. What is the point in spending the money on a HD TV etc only to have a pro logic sound track you clown. I rent bluerays and HD DVDs for £2.00 a go from Lovefilm, for double that i would at least expect 5.1. So stop moaning at me, its fools like you that accept sub standard sh*te like this that keep the money men at MS smiling.

Tony.

 

just found this

i wonder if they did this to try and "fix" the problems they were having??

i got my 300 on the launch day when it all kicked off so maybe they changed the files around when they removed HD training day etc etc

 

Maybe read the posts above, not all offerings are 5.1, but most are, i agree it seems strange to promote a movie that isnt, but meh, it tells you before you download if it's stereo or 5.1

 

Im confused. I went to download 300 for 100ms points and only the SD version was available, the HD version was 540ms points. So i downloaded the sd version.

Did the HD version become available at 100ms points?

 

The 100ms points sd and hd version were only available on the 28th Dec, 1 day only

 

Yeh, i thought it was Friday, which was the day i downloaded mine.

Or was that the wrong day?
